The Effect of 6 weeks Physical Activity on Cognitive Control and Trait Impulsivity in Multi-problem Young Adults
This study aimed to report the effect of a 6-week light-active versus moderate-active physical activity intervention embedded in a multimodal day treatment program on selected measures of cognitive control (i.e., response inhibition, error processing, and cognitive interference) and trait impulsivity. A randomized controlled design was implemented, including male multi-problem young adults (aged 18–27) assigned to either light-active ( N = 12) or…
Procedural Justice in Their Eyes
The literature on procedural justice has been mainly focused on examining whether a fair and respectful treatment affects justice-involved individuals’ legitimacy evaluations and their behavior. It is, however, equally important to examine (a) the role that perceptions of procedural justice play for individuals in their encounters with criminal justice authorities and (b) what makes individuals feel treated procedurally (un-)just. In this qualita…
Differential Effects of Procedural Justice? Examining Heterogeneity in the Perceptions and Effects of Procedural Justice Across First-Time and Recurrent Detainees
Several scholars have suggested that perceptions of procedural justice matter less for legitimacy beliefs and compliant behavior among serious offenders, but it remains unknown to what extent this also holds true for male detainees interacting with multiple criminal justice authorities. Using longitudinal data from the Prison Project on adult detainees entering Dutch pre-trial detention centers, the current study examines whether effects of proce…
Detainees’ Perceptions of Procedural Justice
Procedural justice literature proposes that when individuals perceive their treatment by criminal justice authorities as more procedurally just, they will be more likely to view those authorities as legitimate and, in turn, show more compliant behavior. Knowledge on potential determinants of procedural justice is, therefore, crucial. Research suggests that prior perceptions of procedural justice may influence later judgements of procedural justic…
Detainees’ Perceptions, Case managers’ Perceptions, and Observed Assessments of Procedural Justice
Most studies examining the role of procedural justice in encouraging legitimacy and compliance are based on how individuals feel treated by criminal justice agents. The aim of this exploratory study is to integrate different perspectives on procedural justice: (i) individuals’ perceptions of procedural justice, (ii) an observational assessment of actual behavior, and (iii) criminal justice agents’ perceptions on how procedurally (un-)just they tr…
Procedural Justice, Perceived Legitimacy, and Reoffending Behavior
Despite the increasing body of procedural justice research studying individuals involved in the criminal justice system, this strand of literature has used different approaches to measure procedural justice and legitimacy. The present study assesses the different theoretical assumptions of these approaches across two criminal justice settings, namely, policing and courts. In addition, we examine how procedural justice stemming from interactions w…
The Effect of Sanction Severity and Its Interaction With Procedural Justice
Recent scholarship suggests that detention may have differential effects depending on situational factors. This longitudinal study tests an integrative theoretical framework with the aim to identify conditions under which detention deters from subsequent rule-violating behavior. We examined whether effects of experienced sanction severity on subsequent misconduct and reoffending behavior are dependent on procedural justice perceptions among Dutch…

Procedural Justice, Anger, and Prisoners’ Misconduct
Procedural justice literature suggests that when criminal justice authorities treat people with fairness and respect, people will be more likely to comply with authority’s decisions and rules. Up until now, prior research has largely neglected the correctional context and often used cross-sectional designs. The aims of this study were to examine (a) the longitudinal relationship between prisoners’ procedural justice perceptions and their miscondu…
Neurobiological Factors as Predictors of Prisoners’ Response to a Cognitive Skills Training
Personal networks of prisoners prior to incarceration
Het sociale netwerk van gedetineerden voorafgaand aan detentie - Een vergelijking met de Nederlandse bevolking
People with whom we discuss important personal matters – i.e. the core discussion network – are important for providing help and support as well as influencing behaviour. This is the first study that describes and compares the core discussion network of prisoners prior to incarceration with that of the Dutch population. Differences in their networks have been analysed in terms of network structure, relationship quality and embedded socioeconomic …
A programme evaluation of the F amily C risis I ntervention P rogram ( FCIP )
This study evaluated the F amily C risis I ntervention P rogram ( FCIP ), focusing on crisis, child safety, family functioning and child behaviour problems. Questionnaires were completed by 183 families in crisis and their FCIP worker. After FCIP , the crisis had decreased and child safety had increased. Although problematic family functioning persisted after intervention, improvements were found in parent–child interaction, parenting stress, par…
A meta-analysis of intensive family preservation programs
The effectiveness of institutional youth care over the past three decades
Fear is the key
Purpose - This study seeks to examine the education, safety, and professional attitudes of group workers in a Dutch youth prison and to analyse their perceptions of the organisational culture and leadership by line management. To achieve therapeutic goals, group workers must maintain a balance between flexibility and control. Design/methodology/approach - A total of 59 group workers (40 per cent male and 60 per cent female) randomly chosen from e…
The role of crisis in family crisis intervention
What works’ for juvenile prisoners
The Dutch juvenile justice system locks up an increasing number of adolescent boys and girls at a cost of approximately €250,000 for each inmate annually (Boone & Moerings, 2007; Tonry, 2005). Questions have been raised, however, about the cost‐effectiveness of treatment in closed institutions. This study, with a sample of 49 adolescents residing in a Dutch youth prison, examined the role of group climate in establishing and maintaining treatment…
Individual Stability of Antisocial Behavior From Childhood to Adulthood
This paper presents a test of Moffitt's (1993) prediction on the stability of longitudinal antisocial behavior, using data from the South‐Holland Study. Aggressive (overt) and non‐aggressive antisocial (covert) behaviors were measured when subjects were 6–11 years old, and at follow‐ups when they were 12–17 years old and 20–25 years old. In accordance with the postulate, we did find a higher level of stability of overt behavior from childhood to …
